Persian poetry reimagined through contemporary music — where timeless words meet ambient electronics, soul, indie pop, trance, downtempo, deep house and chillout.
This project brings the poetry of Rumi, Hafez, Forough Farrokhzad, Vida Farhoudi, Ghazal Tajbakhsh, Nima Yushij, Ahmad Shamlou, Fereydoon Moshiri, Mohammad Zohari and more into a new musical language.
These are musical adaptations of powerful Persian poems — exploring love, longing, darkness, desire, dreams and the emotional landscapes hidden within the words.
“Persian Poetry After Dark” is an attempt by Tony Zohari to bring the voices of important Iranian poets to a wider international audience, presenting the emotional reality of their poetry in English and through contemporary sound.
Now available on Spotify, YouTube Music, Amazon Music and other major streaming platforms.
